Congresswoman Fudge Signs Onto Letter Urging President Obama to Consult and Obtain Approval of Congress before Authorizing Military Action in Syria

Warrensville Heights, OH- Congresswoman Marcia L. Fudge (OH-11) has signed onto a letter that urges President Obama to consult with and obtain the consent of Congress before authorizing U.S. military action in Syria.  While recognizing that any verified use of chemical weapons is a crime against humanity that must be condemned, Congresswoman Fudge supports the view that the American people must have more transparency and through their elected Representatives, a full debate and consideration of the facts must take place in Congress before any use of military force.
 

The letter, authored by Congresswoman Barbara Lee of California was signed by Congresswoman Fudge and 52 other Members of Congress and sent to President Obama on Thursday, August 29, 2013.
